Scip: “Worth it. I’ll clean up… but not before I’m full.”
Meanwhile Byron and E-Merle failed to predict the Friggsplosion and got punk’d again.
Bandit, of course, saw this coming and skittered out just in time.

I like to think while Frigg was “Mr. Beaning” Byron with the turkey and dumping the soup on the stoic and stalwart Scipio, it was Gravedust flipping the table on e-merl. Know it’s not what happened but still like to think it lol

Aye, my preferred reading is that Gravedust is lowering the table /onto/ E-Merl, with a sigh of “Sigh. Let me show you the crushing weight that comes when you laugh at me.” But the stress marks by his hands suggest that he’s actually lifting the table. D:

Frigg did not flip the table on E-merl. Everyone was at the table on the far right, and E-merl standing to Gravy and Frigg’s right (left of them from our perspective). He ended up under the middle table – mostly due to Frigg throwing him into the table, landing with enough force to turn the table over on him. Would also explain how the oil lamp got tossed so far.

E-merl probably got hit first, giving Bandit the cue to bolt. Byron was the next closest, so he got the bird, and since at that point everyone but Gravy was out of mace range, she starts hurling food, beaning Scipio with two bowls of soup in the process (excellent aim!) and one against the wall.

But yes, your reading is what I thought of first without examining, and far more amusing.
